Climate Up Close is a nonprofit organization composed of climate scientists who are committed to making the essentials of climate science accessible to a broad audience. They equip Americans to make informed judgments about climate change by seeing the evidence for themselves and putting their questions directly to climate scientists. Climate Up Close’s approach is non-partisan and non-prescriptive. Their scientists volunteer their time. Their tours are supported by small donations, and they have previously toured rural Pennsylvania, the Florida Panhandle, Chicago, Philadelphia, Central New Jersey, and Central New Hampshire. They have chosen Lincoln and Omaha for their 2025 tour.
Four climate scientists from Cornel, Harvard and Princeton University’s and the National OceanicAtmospheri Admisstration will be representifn Climat Up Close in Lincoln. The event will feature a 45 minute presentation. It will cover what climate scientists know about climate change, explore the boundary of current climate knowledge, detail how climate change causes extreme weather events, and frame what the future may hold. The presentations will be followed by 30 minutes of Q & A and informal mingling time.
